Just minutes from the vibrant City of Santa Fe begins the legendary Turquoise Trail. The iconic and historic byway is the location of this artistically inspired compound. Just minutes from all the conveniences of the City Different but a world away. Sited on a private and fully fenced 5.5 acre parcel the property enjoys expansive vistas, mountain views and dark night skies. The main house features strawbale construction with high cathedral wood deck and exposed steel truss ceilings. The interior walls are hard-trowelled plaster, the floors exposed concrete, and the countertops cast-in-place. The open-floor plan and numerous windows and patio doors invite the natural light while offering a great space for entertaining or just chilling. The chef’s kitchen features a 6-burner Viking gas cooktop, Viking dual-burner convection oven, Viking compactor, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and Bosch dishwasher. Counterspace is beyond generous on the large island, extended counters and peninsula with casual dining bar. The primary bedroom opens to the courtyard and includes a spacious walk-through closet. The primary bath features a resort-sized walk-in shower. A jetted tub in the second bath awaits the end of the day. The stand-alone casita is close enough for convenience but separate enough for privacy. Ideal for visitors or rental income, it’s cozy, modern and light-filled. The property also includes a finished garage & studio space, plus carport. The infrastructure includes roof-mounted Solar PV panels and a 3 ac/ft private well. There’s plenty of room on the property to add your barn or other improvements. Santa Fe shopping, dining, and medical facilities are just minutes away, as is the Santa Fe airport and I-25 access.
